Boxing getting out of control.

As per title suggests, people at this point on Red99 are boxing with impunity, and don't even bother denying it anymore. Lite routinely 3-4 boxes, as well as a ton of other people.

Is there any possible way to crack down on this or stop it, otherwise I fear we're heading towards the road of making boxing legal and that's just straight not good.

Is this something that is even solvable by more harsh punishment, or is it simply impossible to stop vmware?

This doesn't sound like a personal agenda against Lite.

Read Lites, post Tune banned for boxing, Emumu massive IP exemption exploiter etc etc I can't say it better than his post - you guys are insane, and the fact that you're so scared of changing your PVE farming situation kills it.

Boxing will never be allowed. That's why I haven't even bothered posting in these threads. It's too unclassic. It encourages solo play and cliques. Basically, they'd be telling red "so because you're all assholes to each other, and alienate new players, we'll give you yourselves to play with."

Will never, ever happen so there's no point in asking. Yes I miss being able to port myself around with full buffs and solo camp some shit, but that's not what eq classic was about. Neither is it good for the server to double the numbers of the already largest army (nihilum) who are working on their 3rd and 4th alts as we speak.

Boxing bad idea despite the ease it gives to new players. The same it does for new, it does for old. Makeing some translocate bots would be better than allowing boxing (yea, bots will never happen either).

I agree that the fundamental issues, like population, people to work with, friends etc would better be improved with teams.

The thing is, with FFA - I look at new players at this point as all people who will quit, or just join Nihi (most will quit) and I just don't even care anymore.

This box has been set up for hardcore EQ PvP fans - which there aren't many.

Boxing is a FFA red solution due to the fact that it sucks, which I can understand - but will not improve the fundamental core issues of the box.

In theory, sure those are legitimate concerns. In reality, it's not that bad. If you are halfway decent at Everquest then you can counter balance buff bots and oor healers. It's not that difficult.

This server is completely controlled by one guild of dudes that play Everquest more than anyone I have seen before. They get off seeing NO one else kill any other mobs.

You guys can all ride my dick, but I've seen both sides of it now and I needed it to attain illumination. Boxing would give people who can't play as much or don't have a large pool of friends, a chance to slay boss mobs and do epic pieces in order to compete.

Rexx get out of that disease of a guild and start reborn as a FREEDOM FIGHTER. Just like stasis and even heartbrand (sorry HB but your guild must still endure pain for your treachery--im away till Sunday so level up!) who are trying to do good for the box.

I still think best solution for boxing is to only permit boxing 2 accounts permitted neither account has a character over say 45+ on it. Would encourage players to start here with the lower level population as thin as it is.

Other than that, its exactly like pudge said.

Self fulfilling prophecy. Instead of working to make the server more enticing for new players, the goal is always to inject mechanics (training wheels) that provide smaller groups and the uncoordinated masses with a way to succeed with as little effort as possible; and all along its that lack of effort to work together that alienates new players and drives them to either quit or join Nihilum.

Either play smarter or just stfu and go find something to do that you're good at.

Just let people purchase premade level 60 toons or items like fungi from the p99 store. Will solve all these boxing issues.

Boxing equal 40 more on pop and it will all be from 10-20 clowns that are already on the server religiously. These people ain't leaving regardless of rule set or changes. The ones who will leave are the ones who think boxing sucks. Enjoy your plus 20 who ain't going no where sonny!!

[mtb tripper]

Do that many people really box? I have met maybe 1 or 2 as long as I've been playing, maybe I am just oblivious

it becomes insanely obvious when u engage a boxer in pvp.

example: in chardok, dodging supreme's jousts while beating on battle who's just auto running away, and continues running straight into a wall for the next 30 seconds

its funny too cuz supreme always accused me of boxing oraculus when my whistle is infact clean as fuck. Can't say the same for him tho
